Quincy

Acquired from: Los Angeles Animal Care & Control-DowneyAge upon Rescue: 9Date of Rescue: January 21st, 2018Date of Passing: January 24th, 2018Family: Frosted Faces FoundationFans: Mary HavensTribute: There is one person's voice I do not want to hear at 8:00am and that is Dr. VanMaele's. This timing has become all too familiar as San Diego Bay Animal Hospital has cared for our Frosted Faces for over three years. I know she hasn't gotten to the hospital yet, but she bears the burden of relaying the bad news that morning staff report.

Quincy did not make it through the night.

We rescued 9 year old Quincy on January 21st, 2018 from Downey Shelter after he came in as a stray. He was hospitalized for two days with oxygen, nebulizing treatments, antibiotic injections, and fluids. We actually thought he was doing better yesterday and discussed discharging him last night. He looked bright, his oxygen saturation was normal, and he seemed comfortable aside from some boogers. We decided to keep him in the hospital's care for one more day because he wasn't eating yet and we thought by today he may.

We learned in x-ray that his coughing was a result of horrendous collapsing trachea which we suspect ultimately ended his life because it was such a sudden unexpected decline. Other suggestions of cause of death were a possible unidentified sternal mass or a blood clot.

Silence sets in and tears well up. There was no grand final good bye, no perfect beach day, no last amazing meal. I can tell you we spooned on the bathroom floor for a good part of Sunday evening. He got a warm bath to soak off all the urine that had caked on his legs due to his immobility at the shelter. I think where I will rest easy is that we are blessed with adequate funding because of your generous donations that allowed us to give Quincy a fighting chance with no reservations. I am happy that we had the opportunity to support Quincy, rather than seeing him euthanized without justification. Thank you.

Thank you to Mary Havens for registering to be Quincy's monthly sponsoring Fan and offering him the gift of hope.
